15% teacher/educator discount, % to UCP and free shipping!!
this is a great idea! My son, 11, is semi-verbal. He has autism. He understands most of what goes on, hides his head in the sand a lot so he can just tune out and do what he wants. Last week he snitched a couple of cookies and when my husband went...
I don't know. If she did, I hope she's having success with it. It never really took off for me so sadly, I stopped doing it. It's nice to hear it's still going on, even if it was her own idea. I'd love to visit it though. Could you let me know wha...
Jean,
I'm so glad you found this helpful. There are days when things get so hard and to have to do it alone has got to be so difficult. Red popsicles are my favorite! I look forward to the day my Peanut can tell me what she had for snack. This ma...
I need this today, really need this. My husband is gone again (ARMY) and I am left with my 2 1/2 autistic son and my 7 month old. Today was a really, really bad day. I sometimes feel like I am not going to make it through the day with Jaylen. So m...
They said my son would never graduate high school. He is in college now. He is profoundly deaf and has a reading disability. He is super. I started a non profit to help parents with special needs kids called All Kids Matter. I provide free advocac...
I just saw this because I'm new. My Mindy is considered low functioning autism.
She is also the BESTEST laundry sorter in the world! I love having her help me with the laundry because she sorts it just right and it gives us something we can do to...

PDD NOS is Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. When we diagnose that it means that a child does not meet the full diagnostic criteria for anything else on the Autism Spectrum, however they still display repetitive behaviors or lack in social skills or have delays in language. It is really a catch all when a child displays symptoms but we can't diagnose anything else. I hope this helps. It is abbreviated because that diagnosis is just too long!! Kara T. Tamanini

Amanda Wilson said… - Hi there! I just joined this group, and I stopped by your blog. I'm pretty sure I'd been there before, hehe. My middle daughter, who will be 5 in April, has Down syndrome, as well. I have 3 girls, too, ages 9, 4, & 2 1/2. Your children are beautiful!

- I noticed you joined moms of special need kiddos, my son has Angelman Syndrome. I totally relate to your feelings about not hearing your daughters voice, my son just turned 6 and he has no verbal language either. Your girls are so beutiful it looks like Christmas was wonderful. I have found this site to be wonderful and I hope you do too. If ever you want to talk just drop me an email! Blessings to you & your wonderful family.

Sharing Your Child's Secret
There comes a time in your child's life when you need to explain her special needs to her peers. For the most part that time doesn't happen till your child is 7 or 8. Before that, most kids are on a level playing field and no one really notices your child's delays or disabilities. When they do, you can ask your child's teacher if you can talk to your child's peers at school. I've been preparing for this day by attending seminars on how to properly present to Peanut's classmates and presenting to… Continue
